Rachael' is a humorous, cinematic snapshot observing the early morning routine of a post-war British family. Mum makes breakfast. Dad reads the paper. Samantha tries to get ready for work but her sister, Rachael, is hogging the bathroom. Soon we see that Rachael, although young, is not as innocent as her parents might hope. Penned by the acclaimed writer Irvine Welsh, and directed by renowned photographer Rankin, 'Rachael' captures a surprising portrait of a family in post-war Britain. The cast include Shaun Dooley ('The Woman in Black', 'Red Riding'), Holliday Grainger ('Bel Ami', 'Jane Eyre'), Maxine Peake ('Shameless', 'Little Dorrit'), and newcomer Suki Alice Waterhouse.
